And they say Nordic food is unappetizing

Can totally understand that people dont want to eat it from how it looks. Mashed potato leftovers never make good presentation after a night in the fridge.

But I find it too be a really good meal that I crave from time to time. Would gladly eat that a few times a week even.

Extremely good advice that I will follow next time

Add dark chocolate grated on top of the fish and add salt - thank me later

[-]

katjoy63@reddit

and then remove the fish, and Wallah! you got something... awesome? yeah!

It took me a few minutes of trying to figure out why you were saying "I swear to God" in Arabic before I realized you meant voila lol

[-]

katjoy63@reddit

for some reason, I've always misspelled that word - sorry about that!

bitebakk@reddit

This sounds so bloody good 😫 ...dare I say mash gently to simulate potato salad?

I love remoulade but I’m not sure I would pair it with mashed potatoes… but idk, fries and remoulade is a good mix, I have also occasionally eaten boiled potatoes with remoulade, so it might work

[-]

TheGoldenCowTV@reddit

I do it semi regularly. Fried fish mashed potatoes in a sourdough burger bun with remoulade and something pickled its nice

[-]

DuckRubberDuck@reddit

Hm, me and fish aren’t the best friends, but it doesn’t sound bad.

Some fish is okay, smørrebrød with a fried fish fillet, topped with remoulade (and lemon) is amazing! It’s one of my favorites

[-]

Bontus@reddit

mayo and raw onion, Dutch style. Bonus points for pickled onion

[-]

Vortex-Of-Swirliness@reddit

And by the looks of that… they’re correct.

Pickled herring on.... mashed potatoes?

[-]

Electrical-Ice1671@reddit (OP)

Oven-cooked herring, but yeah. With sour cream too. They're leftovers from the fridge, hence the shape.

[-]

KillHitlerAgain@reddit

that actually sounds good but the presentation is horrendous

[-]

HeyCarpy@reddit

You ok, babe? You haven't touched your fish brick.

[-]

c1n3man@reddit

Reminded me about Sarah Goldfarb from "Requiem for a dream". She had something like herring with sour cream in her fridge.

[-]

OGdirty1Kanobi@reddit

Ah was wondering why it was so well angled

[-]

motherlymetal@reddit

I can't tell if it's a mushroom or fish on top.

[-]

jabracadaniel@reddit

they do say that yeah. why are you bringing that up?

[-]

LilArtsyCreature@reddit

Looks like the crossection of a road. You a geologist or something? (Only ribbing. Though if you actually did turn out to work in geology or an adjacent field that'd be pretty cool 😂)

BlackberryOdd4168@reddit

As a Dane: wtf am I looking at? Is this part of the swedish strategy to deter immigration??

[-]

uber_potatos@reddit

Looks rather unappealing but I bet it tastes amazing. You cannot fuckup fish+potato combo

[-]

cyzad4@reddit

This is why all those blackmetal bands are in the woods, trying to get away from the smells in the kitchen

[-]

GravyPainter@reddit

Honestly. Slap anything on mashed potatoes and im getting down

[-]

MechanicalEngel@reddit

Moved from the states to Sweden. Still baffled from the first time I saw a shrimp cake 7 years ago in ICA, don't think I ever got over that.

[-]

oneweirdclickbait@reddit

It looks like something that should go into walls to protect you from 13 months of harsh Scandinavian winters.

[-]

katjoy63@reddit

yeah, you know how we go back an hour in the fall - Swedes and Nords go back a whole month!

[-]

katjoy63@reddit

Ja, Olaff, you betcha -I'll have some of dat fish soaked in lye. No worries. Tack!

[-]

Tronkfool@reddit

Who? What fool said that? I bet he had eyes that damn idiot

[-]

Cpt_Morningwood@reddit

I'm from Finland. You just separate the 2 and warm them up a little bit and it's a decent lunch. Herring... mashed potatoes... all good ingredients. All good stuff.

[-]

Currentcorn@reddit

Peak food, perfect, will devour voraciously until there's nothing left on plate just as if my whole purpose of presence is organic dishwasher

[-]

imacuntsag420@reddit

Why are they all the same shade of white or beige.That is kinda what makes it unappetizing

[-]

HattMader@reddit

Well, where is the picture of the food?

[-]

I see now that British cuisine is the reverberating conflict between the northern European tendencies and the fancy delicacies of France and southern Europe, with every wave of history beating upon its plate in turn.

[-]

uchuskies08@reddit

I would rather starve

[-]

Grayseal@reddit

If you know, you know.

[-]

PersKarvaRousku@reddit

Unironically looks better than most of my dinners. That dill goo looks great.

[-]

Deadbeathero@reddit

Rotten banana with mashed potatoes? Are you a raccoon?

[-]

ferralsol@reddit

At first glance, I thought I was looking at mold...

[-]

Udrolph@reddit

Honestly? Something similar to this is my guilty pleasure food. Salted herring, slice donion, mayo, mashed potatoes and grated beet, all layerd on one another. Throw in some fryed rye bread covered in mashed garlic and it's a feast. But only once a year XD

[-]

Electrical-Ice1671@reddit (OP)

Whatever do you mean! This is straight up gourmet food
